As I’ve asked before, does he or doesn’t he, he being Ukraine strongman Volodymyr Zelenskyy?
Does he have a numbered Swiss bank account into which he has poured billions stolen from foreign aid received during his country’s war with Russia?
My guess is yes, but few in the media, or even in political circles, are asking that question.

I bring this up because, buried in the” World” section of today’s Wall Street Journal online, is an article about Tymur Mindich. Ukrainian authorities suspect Mindich of illegally siphoning off $100 million from Ukraine’s state nuclear-energy company, Energoatom.
Apparently, Mindich — an organized crime figure — was extorting kickbacks from contractors with Energoatom, Mafia-style.
A few hours before Ukrainian detectives were set to raid his home, Mindich slipped away in the night to Poland and is now in hiding.
The most interesting part of this whole (buried) story is that Mindich founded a production company with Zelenskyy before the latter became president.
Final question about Ukraine’s ongoing corruption scandal in general and Mindich in particular is: Did Zelenskyy warn his buddy that the cops were closing in on him?
